OSJ Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 From what I hear, it was specific slurs referring to the Rock of all people. Among said slurs were the N-word and "Sambo". Stick a fork in the orange goblin, he's done. Expect a burial of Benoit-like proportions. I don't know how the hell you erase Hogan from WWE history, but I have a feeling that they're really going to give it a try. Bad enough he said it all about anyone, but to attack the one guy who has become bigger than WWE is just so monumentally stupid that I would consider the possibility that he was coked up out of his mind. Hogan's far too media savvy as to think that he could get away with that shit in this day and age. He had to have been fucked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2015/07/24/wwe-erases-hulk-hogan-mentions-from-web-site/?tid=sm_tw That is the Wash Post referencing the CNN story which references the Rock story. What is funny is that the WWE removing the references probably made this story blowup quicker than it probably would have normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 And here is the Gawker story http://gawker.com/wwe-erases-hulk-hogan-from-website-after-reports-of-rac-1719933145 In that story the claim is stated (though it appears to be Media Take Out making the claim) that the video came out because of the Gawker Lawsuit The tape was discovered during the GAWKER LAWSUIT - it was from a legal deposition and was sold to the National Enquirer.

Vincey Greene Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Interesting. The Rock stuff initially was debunked as being from a fake Onion sort of site. Maybe it really happened even though a fake Onion site made it up first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well because he's a leftist and I'm obviously not, I could see why someone might think I was being sarcastic. But no, Lamont Hill is an intellectually honest guy.

mattdangerously Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 So that's how racist you have to be to actually get fired from the WWE. Good to know. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'll reserve until I hear the actual tape come out. So far, its a lot of speculation and hyperbole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I would hate to think that the thing that ruins Hogan's career is because Bubba the Love Sponge wanted to jack off watching his wife get banged out by Hogan Well if that story above is the reason then yeah he is in big trouble. Still don't know if it is worth getting the Benoit treatment but fired from Tough Enough oh yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Eh, if the Enquirer more or less has it right, I'm ok with him being benoited, It's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 To be fair - about once a year the Enquirer does break a legit news story When I was in college we learned that the Enquirer's news stories were almost always accurate and throughly fact checked because of how many lawsuits they had dealt with. Just saying. Plus an audio tape exists. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Well since it appears that the WWE has sent out a release confirming that is has terminated it's contract with Hogan - one would think they wouldn't do that without confirming lest opening themselves up to their own lawsuit Jonathan Snowden @JESnowden 8m8 minutes ago From @WWE: "WWE terminated its contract w/ Hulk Hogan. WWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yikes. Not surprised at all. He's a 60 y/o white dude from Florida. It would be more surprising if he wasn't a vile piece of garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yeah, Enquirer has been pretty legit for a long time now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I imagine all Vince has to do is send a text to Styles and Dunn that simply reads, "Benoit Protocol" and the scrubbing begins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Might as well make this a separate thread since clearly this will have legs for a little bit. I am going to move posts over so don't be surprised if things are shuttling around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you are willing to act like a goofy stereotype like R-Truth Hopefully the WWE just leaves it at that because if there is one thing the WWE doesn't want is people investigating their history with black people. Hell they only need to go back a good year and be screwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
